Ingredients:
10 c. melted fat (lard and suet
is a good combination)
1 c. liquid bleach (Clorox, Purex etc.)
1 can of lye crystals
6 qts. water
Wood slotted spoon for stirring
Use an enamel crockery or glass
container to "cook" lye-fat mixture in
Direction:
Use extreme caution in a well ventilated area when using lye.
Never use anything but a wooden spoon and stir carefully in
one direction only. Start with 10 cups melted fat and stir in
1 cup liquid bleach. Dissolve 1 can lye in 6 quarts water and
carefully add the fat and bleach mixture. Stir thoroughly. Set
4 to 5 days, stirring frequently. It will start out thin and
watery but by the 4th or 5th day it will be solid to the
bottom of pot. Put on stove and melt, pour into molds and cut
when cool. It should dry for several months to cure. This is
good hand soap or laundry and is biodegradable.
